Job Description

Brew are expanding Brew Digital are an ambitious, tight knit, specialist team who pride themselves in producing great work. We are continuing to grow in all aspects of the business and need to bolster our ten strong development team in order to service business for both new and existing clients. Working at Brew Were not your average web development team. We actively avoid rolling out the same solutions again and again, preferring to look for every opportunity to innovate. We like to work as a brain rather than a machine, and always choose the best tools for the job, not necessarily the ones weve got the most experience with. This means that we need to be highly collaborative to make sure we leverage the best creative ideas. At the same time we need to have rigorous processes in place to ensure that the solutions we deliver always exceed expectations. As you can imagine, maintaining a high level of expertise across strategy, design, technical excellence and accountability, requires a team that fully embraces working together. This is why our culture is so important to us - it defines our approach to everything and is the reason our clients keep coming back to us. Part of the Adaptavist Group Brew are the web design and development team within the Adaptavist Group, who are the leading solutions partner for Atlassian. This means that we can enjoy the flexibility associated with being a small start-up whilst benefiting from the stability of a large partner organisation.

And understand the value in others being heard. We subject ideas to rigorous consideration and challenge each other, but remember that were here for the same purpose: to do great work together. That comes with direct feedback, openness to each others experience, and willingness to show up for each other as well as the technical work at hand. If you love solving complex problems with code and sweating the details then we want to hear from you.
